Dr. Genevieve Bartuski is a licensed forensic psychologist whose practice spans psychological assessment, forensic evaluation, and the emerging intersection of human behavior and digital technology. Her work extends across the courtroom, the correctional setting, and the field of cyberpsychology: a career built across some of the most demanding and consequential environments in applied psychology.

Dr. Bartuski's forensic practice is anchored in court-ordered psychological evaluation. Approved by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to conduct competency to stand trial evaluations (Va. Code § 19.2-169.1) and criminal responsibility evaluations (Va. Code § 19.2-169.5), she is licensed as a psychologist in Virginia and Texas. Earlier in her career, Dr. Bartuski served as a Staff Psychologist and Crisis Negotiator with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, conducting psychological assessments in a high-security correctional environment, providing clinical supervision, and serving as a trained crisis and hostage negotiator. That experience, managing mental health emergencies in high-stakes, high-pressure settings, fundamentally shaped her approach to forensic work: precise, clearly communicated, and grounded in an understanding of the systems in which psychology operates. She also maintains limited clinical work via telehealth.

Alongside her forensic practice, Dr. Bartuski has developed a focused specialization in cyberpsychology, the study of how digital technology shapes human behavior, identity, and relationships. She is a Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol) with the British Psychological Society in both Forensic and Cyberpsychology, and in January 2026 was appointed to the BPS Cyberpsychology Section Committee for a three-year term. Her chapter, Virtual Agents and Synthetic Relationships, is forthcoming in the Palgrave Encyclopedia of Cyberpsychology (Springer Nature Publishing, 2026).

Dr. Bartuski serves on the board of SHIELD, an international non-profit dedicated to online safety operating across 25 countries, and is a frequent speaker at SHIELD's Global Online Safety Conference, where she has presented on topics including AI companions, online sexual exploitation, and the economic realities of digital wellness. She has also been featured in TechRadar and and she is among the professionals featured as a case study in one of the first books on careers in cyberpsychology, currently in press — selected as a notable figure in the emerging field.

Dr. Bartuski's industry work runs parallel to her clinical and forensic practice. As Co-Founder of Unicorn Intelligence Tech Partners, she advises behavioral health and health technology organizations on clinical positioning, risk communication, and the responsible adoption of AI-enabled products. She has contributed to technology development as a subject matter expert in forensic psychology, informing the ethical design and behavioral risk modeling of AI-driven software solutions, and has worked in AI safety — conducting red-teaming, safety calibration, and human evaluation of large language model outputs, bringing a mental health and psychological expertise lens to harm identification and mitigation in AI systems. She is a member of the Swissnex Expert Network, engaging with international communities at the frontier of science, technology, and society.

Throughout her career, the thread connecting forensic psychology, cyberpsychology, and technology consulting has been consistent: understanding human behavior in complex, high-stakes contexts — and communicating that understanding clearly to those who need it most.
